App Recap: Angry Birds Epic and 12 other apps

By Joe Rossignol on Jun 12, 2014

Flappy Bird might have taken the App Store by storm a few months ago, but I can think of a few smash-hit game franchises that launched much before that. The first one that pops into my mind is Infinity Blade, which I think opened many people’s eyes to just how powerful gaming can be on the iPad. Then there is Angry Birds, which has been a remarkably successful series for Finnish game maker Rovio.

The latest spinoff in the Angry Birds franchise was released earlier today in Angry Birds Epic, which you can read about ahead. App Recap is a daily column that promotes the best new, updated and discounted apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Angry Birds Epic wasn’t the only impressive new game to hit the App Store this morning, so read ahead for a look at 12 other apps that made the list…  Read More

 

Infinity Blade II goes free as App Store’s latest Free App of the Week

By Christian Zibreg on May 29, 2014

Chair Entertainment’s Infinity Blade III is still on sale following the massive ‘Blade Masters’ update and now its predecessor, Infinity Blade II, has been slashed to zero bucks, courtesy of Apple’s ongoing Free App of the Week promotion (last week’s free app: Fun Golf GPS 3D).

This means that you can download this elegiac masterpiece free of charge until next Thursday, after which it will go back up to its normal asking price of seven bucks.

It’s a universal app so you can play it on both your iPhone and iPad. Again, this game is downright awesome so you’ll most certainly regret passing on this deal if you don’t act pronto. The triple-A iOS exclusive has been built on Epic Games’ Unreal engine and is the closest thing to a system-seller on Apple’s platform.

Infinity Blade III launches on the App Store

By Christian Zibreg on Sep 18, 2013

Infinity Blade has long been a so-called system seller, an iOS masterpiece meant to highlight the power of Apple’s iOS platform by taking the GPU inside your iPhone, iPod touch and iPad to its limits.

Developer Chair said in July that Infinity Blades: Dungeons had been canceled due to internal reshuffling that saw the company focus on the third installment in the series, Infinity Blade III.

Apple during its iPhone 5s/5c keynote last month invited representatives from Chair to demo the game on stage. In a quick follow-up, Chair then posted a trailer video and this morning the game surfaced on the App Store, ahead of the expected iOS 7 release later today… Read More

By Cody Lee on Aug 2, 2013

Following months of silence, Chair co-founder and Creative Director Donald Mustard announced last month that ‘Infinity Blades: Dungeons’ had been canceled. Rumors about the game had been bouncing around since it debuted onstage at Apple’s iPad 3 event.

Infinity Blade Dungeons game officially canceled

By Cody Lee on Jul 12, 2013

Last March, Epic Games president Mike Capps took the stage at Apple’s iPad 3 event to show off Infinity Blade Dungeons, the studio’s third iteration in the popular series. And true to its predecessors, the game looked stunning—especially on the iPad’s new Retina display.
